What is what to do when bored as a kid?

When boredom strikes as a kid, the world is your oyster! Here's a treasure chest of ideas to banish those blahs:

  • Get Creative: Unleash your inner artist! Try drawing and painting, sculpting with playdough, or writing a story.

  • Explore the Outdoors: Head outside for some fresh air and adventure! Go on a nature walk, build a fort, play tag with friends, or have a picnic.

  • Get Active: Burn off some energy by dancing to your favorite music, doing jumping jacks, or playing sports and games.

  • Learn Something New: Expand your knowledge with a new hobby! Try learning magic tricks, a new language, or how to code.

  • Help Around the House: Offer to help with chores. Believe it or not, sometimes helping out can be surprisingly rewarding and a great way to pass the time, especially if you make it a game!

  • Read a Book: Get lost in a captivating story. Visit your local library or browse books online.

  • Build Something: Use LEGOs, blocks, or cardboard boxes to create a tower, a spaceship, or a whole city!

  • Play Board Games or Card Games: Invite family members or friends to join you for a friendly competition. Consider chess, checkers, card games etc.

  • Have a Dress-Up Party: Raid your closet or create costumes from old clothes and put on a show!

  • Do a Science Experiment: Conduct simple experiments using household items.

Remember to ask for permission from a parent or guardian before starting any activity that requires their supervision. Most importantly, have fun and let your imagination run wild!
